Hi,
I used connmanctl to connect with my router, and now even if I am connected with beaglebone-XXXX wifi on any device(mobile , laptop) , I can use internet from my router.It is sweet and nice. I didn’t noticed for hours while working on laptop.
However, it is a potential security risk as anyone who might have knowledge about beaglebone can connect using default password. By now I have tried every search result on google and frustrated enough to overlook any of my stupid mistakes or obvious solutions.
Background:
I got my beaglebone black wireless around 2017, that time I tried very hard but couldn’t put WiFi to work , recently I again took interest in it and therefore from this page (Error using connmanctl> enable wifi BBBW), I found out kernel was damaged somehow in every image I downloaded , and I used this command dd if=/opt/scripts/device/bone/bbbw-eeprom.dump of=/sys/devices/platform/ocp/44e0b000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0050/eeprom and voila! Wifi and bt led which I never noticed on board illuminated.
Following is output for /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

I tried this solution without any success
Please check the below steps for changing the SSID and Password for the Beaglebone :
Step: 1 – > Get the latest updates
BeagleBone Black Rev C:
cd /opt/scripts/tools/
./update_kernel.shBeagleBone and BeagleBone Black Rev A/B:
- opkg update
- opkg upgrade
And then reboot
Step : 2 – > Configure WiFiBeagleBone Black Rev C:
Edit /etc/networking/interfaces
Uncomment the WiFi section and add SSID and password:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “mySSID”
wpa-psk “mypassword”BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black Rev A/B, confugure ConnMan:
Verify that you have “[WiFi] Enabled = true” in /var/lib/connman/settings
Add a new file /var/lib/connman/wifi.config with the following content:
[service_home]
Type =wifi
Name = yourSSID
Security = wpa2-psk
Passphrase = yourPassPhrase(replace “yourSSID” with the name of your network and replace “yourPassPhrase” with your passphrase. If you use wpa (and not wpa2), you must also change “wpa2-psk” to “wpa”.
Restart connman: systemctl restart connman
Also, please clarify how do I know which rev bbb I have(rev A,B or C) ? Does bbbw stands for Beaglebone Black wireless, because I stupidly confused it with beaglebone white?
